Sling your hook, it’s summer party time!
Date published: 26 July 2010
REVELLERS enjoyed a street party in the sun after a travelling camp packed up and fled in the nick of time.
Organisers of the Groundwork street party feared the event would have to be cancelled when travellers descended on land next to the environment centre in Higginshaw Lane.
But the council issued an enforcement order which meant the travellers had to pack up their belongings and leave with just hours to spare.
Families were then able to enjoy a bouncy castle, stilt races, balloon modelling and a Caribbean barbecue.
